"One screen can be used for content creation, like Word documents or emails, while the other could be used to browse the web, social networks or multimedia programmes," said Toshiba, the company that invented the laptop 25 years ago. "Additionally, the device can also be used vertically thanks to an integrated accelerometer."

Users type on a virtual keyboard, which boasts haptic feedback to provide a physical sense of keys being pressed. The Libretto W100 uses an Intel processor and a 62GB solid state drive to store applications, documents and movies, photos and music. It features integrated Wi-Fi and Bluetooth, and there is also a 3G version that will enable users to surf the web using the mobile phone network.

Toshiba also unveiled two other new laptops, the Portege R700 and AC100. The R700 is a lightweight laptop with a 13in screen, which uses a new cooling system to ensure it doesn't overheat, while the AC100 is only 14mm thick and runs Google's Android operating system. Toshiba said it could boot up in less than a second, allowing users to get online quickly and easily.

All three new laptops will go on sale next month. Toshiba has not yet confirmed pricing details for any of the devices.

Looks cool, but it probably comes with Windows 7 Starter, which is an instant fail... can't even change the bloody wallpaper without jumping through hoops with 3rd party software. Microsoft never should've marketed that s#!@ outside the emerging markets.
